Adopt a Border Collie in Virginia

Border Collies are exceptionally intelligent, energetic herding dogs that need a purpose. They frequently end up in rescue when suburban families can't meet their intense exercise and mental stimulation needs. A rescued Border Collie thrives with an active, engaged owner.

Virginia's rescue dog community is active across the DC suburbs, Richmond, Norfolk, and Roanoke. The state has both high-need rural shelters and well-organized urban rescues. A rescued Virginia dog often comes through one of these active organizations.
